You're fine. If you run it more than a quart over you risk blowing out the seals and frothing the oil, but there is easily enough tolerance built into these motors to handle an extra quart. I had a bad o-ring on the oil pickup tube in my '84 and I drove it a quart over for over a year without any seal leakage. I wouldn't recommend it all the time but one week isn't going to do anything.
